A member asked:
Why does the metrodinazole cream takes effect so low, while other creams (like tacrolimus) work on my skin after just a few days using? i have bad p&p

2 different meds: Each of these medications works differently. Metronidazole is an antibiotic and Tacrolimus is an immune suppressant. Your skin condition could be an inflammatory or autoimmune cause. Good luck. Please see your doctor for more answers.
